How To Think Like A Roman Emperor (Chapter 5 continued)

This is the Friday night meeting for Orlando Stoics. It's online.

This week, our Friday night practice continues our review of Chapter 5 of the book "How to Think Like a Roman Emperor" by Donald Robertson (first half is pages 167-186). The author shows us how to mitigate pain with cognitive distancing and avoiding unrealistic fears. Our meeting will start with a brief dialogue by StoicDan and Joe Bullock, and then the discussion will follow. We hope you can attend!

In general, Stoicism teaches us how to handle difficult people and events, how to avoid anger and worry, and overall to use moderation in all aspects of our lives. We will discuss how Stoic practice can lead to a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Our group enjoys open-minded, respectful conversations on Stoicism and how it relates to science, culture, philosophy, other belief systems, and pop culture (books and movies). If we differ in our opinions, then "we agree to disagree". The long-term goal is to improve our minds via group discussions. Our group does NOT discuss religion or politics.

This event is free and open to the public.
